I forgot that package-get-locate-index-file is not autoloaded. Please either evaluate (require 'package-get) first or you do XEmacs <= 21.1 Options->Manage Packages->Add Download Site->xemacs.org Options->Manage Packages->List & Install XEmacs >= 21.4 Tools->Packages->Add Download Site->xemacs.org Tools->Packages->List & Install This will load package-get and you can provide me the information I asked for. >> Try updating you local package index as follows: >> XEmacs >= 21.4 Tools-> Packages->Add Download Site->de.xemacs.org Tools-> Packages->List & Install Heino> Okay, I choosed downloadsite "tu-darmstadt.de" ('cause there was no Heino> de.xemacs.org). OK, the list of download sites is changing. It should also be upgradable via the package system I guess. Heino> "List & Install" says: Heino> I have latin-unity 1.02 and there is one 1.07 available.

Hmmh, from nothing comes nothing :-) Do you have get an "*ftp ...*" buffer? Does M-x show-message-log provide any clues or error messages? Try XEmacs <= 21.1 Options->General Options->Debug On Error XEmacs >= 21.4 Options->Troubleshooting->Debug On Error Try installing again. Send the *Backtrace* to xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org if you get one. Thanks in advance, Adrian Heino> I did that as user and as root: Nothing..
